Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In reply to previous comments, the Government indicates in its report that consultations were undertaken in 2014 on the questionnaires concerning the two standard-setting items on the agenda of the 103rd Session (2014) of the International Labour Conference (Article 5(1)(a)). The Government also indicates that consultations were held on the report form for the 2015 General Survey concerning the Right of Association and Rural Workers’ Organizations instruments. Moreover, the Committee notes that, following various meetings held with the social partners in order to finalize further revisions to the National Tripartite Council Bill, 2014, the agreed revisions were incorporated into the draft legislation by the Office of the Attorney-General. The Committee invites the Government to continue to keep the Office informed of any further developments aiming to promote tripartism as well as its operation concerning matters covered by the Convention, in particular as regards the enactment of the National Tripartite Council Bill, 2014. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate whether tripartite consultations have been held on other matters covered by the Convention, such as the submission of Conventions and Recommendations adopted by the Conference to Parliament (Article 5(1)(b)), and the questions arising out of reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)).
